overweight vs obesity
Being overweight is considered having a BMI index between the ranges of 25 and 29.9 and between 25 and 30 pounds over the recommended height to weight ratio. Being obese is considered having a BMI of 30 or more with at least 30 pounds overweight for the height to weight ratio.
51
Health facts
57% of the deaths in the United States were caused by cancer and cardiovascular disease. Approximately 80% of these deaths could have been prevented if the individuals lived healthier lifestyles. ... Currently, 66% of people in the United States that are over 20 years old or overweight. 34% of this 66% are classified as obese.
52
human movement system
the kinetic chain. The kinetic chain (human movement system) is made up of three primary systems. The skeletal system (bones and joints), the muscular system (ligaments, tendons, muscles, and fascia) and the nervous system (peripheral and central nerves).
53
Type I
Type I (slow twitch): These are also known as endurance fibers. They are smaller, produce less power, receive more oxygen and are more mitochondrial dense.
54
Type II
Type II (fast twitch): These do not have as much endurance, have less oxygen delivery, have short-term contractions, can produce more force and power and are larger than type I fibers.
55
Type IIx:
Type IIx: These have a low oxidative capacity and or quick to fatigue.
56
Type IIa
Type IIa: These have a higher oxidative capacity and will fatigue slower than type IIx. Another name for these is intermediate fast twitch muscle fibers.
57
The muscles that comprise the respiratory pump are: For inhalation: The Scalene muscles, the pack minor, sternocleidomastoid, and the diaphragm. For exhalation: The internal intercostals and the abdominal muscles
The muscles that comprise the respiratory pump are: For inhalation: The Scalene muscles, the pack minor, sternocleidomastoid, and the diaphragm. For exhalation: The internal intercostals and the abdominal muscles
58
Inhalation The thoracic cavity expands new The pressure within the pleural cavities drop This pulls air to the lungs It also brings blood into the IVC and the right atrium from the smaller veins that exist in the abdominal cavity
Exhalation The pressure in the pleural cavities rise This forces blood into the right atrium This is important especially for heavy exercises
59
beta oxidation
Beta (B)-oxidation: This is the first process that breaks down fatty acids. It includes the oxidation of beta carbons and removing to fragments of carbon from the fatty acid.
60
isokinetic muscle action
Isokinetic: in isokinetic muscle, action is when the contraction speed of a muscle is constant.
61
more vocabs
Length-tension relationships: This is the perfect length of a muscle that will result in the most force produced. The ability of a muscle to produce force at its current range. Torque: Something that tends to produce rotation or torsion. The movement of a system or force that typically leads to a rotation. Rotary motion: This is rotational movements from the joints. Force couple: Groups of muscles that work with one another in order to produce a force on a joint.
62
common force couples
Hips/Knee extension during walking, running, stair climbing = gluteus maximus, quadriceps, calf muscles. Elbow flexion/bicep curls = shortening of the brachioradialis, brachialis and biceps brachii.
